The deeper story, beautifully organized. Available records, historical context, and questions worth asking.
This report is free. Vardell does not certify, grade or endorse; it shows what the record documents.
The Essentials
Across six visits from April 2022 to May 2026, Georgia licensing staff cited 2 rules at Tillman Family Child Care, both non-core and both corrected; the window shows no enforcement actions and one complaint allegation, which was unsubstantiated.
* Partial year, through October 1, 2026.

Chronology
Every visit in the record window, newest first. A citation is a licensing rule the state found was not met. An allegation is what a complaint claimed; it becomes a citation only if substantiated.

Core rules are the rules the state identifies as carrying the greatest risk to children when they are not met; non-core rules cover the rest. Rule numbers in this sample are illustrative placeholders, not Georgia's actual rule numbers.
Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
No citation repeats across the 6 visits in this window, and no citation is waiting on a verified correction. That is what the record shows; it is not a judgment of care. The questions that follow still apply.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
What has changed here since the last licensing study on May 12, 2026?
It recorded no citations. Ask when the next licensing visit is expected.
What is the ratio in the room my child would join, and how is every child accounted for at nap time, pickup and on the playground?
No ratio citation appears in this window. Ratios change through the day, so they are worth counting yourself on a visit.
May we see your most recent licensing report, and will you walk us through it?
Georgia publishes licensing visit reports. How a director talks about the latest one is worth hearing.
The Evidence
Licensing visit reports, complaint outcomes and enforcement actions are published by the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (Bright from the Start), which licenses and inspects childcare programs in the state.
